Dear Internet Archive Supporter,

I ask only once a year: please help the Internet Archive today. Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone chips in $5, we can end this fundraiser today. Right now, a generous supporter will match your donation, so you can double your impact. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a library you can trust. We have only 150 staff but run one of the world’s top websites. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. For 22 years, my dream has been to build the library of everything and make it available to everyone. To make information more reliable and permanent. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free library for the whole internet. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, please chip in. Thank you.
—Brewster Kahle, Founder, Internet Archive

Softalk magazine

The Softalk Apple Project and FactMiners.org

Enjoy the complete run of four volumes, 48-issues of the Apple computer edition of Softalk magazine. Published between September 1980 and August 1984, Softalk magazine uniquely captures the dawn of the microcomputer and digital revolution through its deep and broad editorial content.

Digitization and preservation of this collection was funded by, and is maintained and enhanced by grassroots Citizen Science/History projects; The Softalk Apple Project (www.SoftalkApple.com) and www.FactMiners.org. Together, these projects are creating a uniquely detailed metadata-annotated structural and content model of the magazine based on a full-graph interpretation of the CIDOC-CRM (#cidocCRM), the ISO International Standard Conceptual Reference Model for Museums.

The Softalk Apple collection is the first collection at the Internet Archive to support and provide collection metadata in FactMiners' MAGAZINE #GTS (ground-truth storage) format. This XML-based metadata file is based on an integrated complex document structre and content depiction model. The publication-wide MAGAZINEgts file is available here: https://archive.org/download/softalkapple/softalkapple_publication.xml (9.7+ MB in XML format - Best to save as local document, then open with an XML editor rather than try to view/format in your browser).
